Patent

To a historically unprecedented degree, today's products and services are a product of innovation. Patents protect your firm's most valuable assets - its innovations. And patents protect your right to profit from your innovations. Patents can and do protect your firm's novel inventions in these, and many other fields:

• Biotechnology and biomedicine
• Business methods and Finance
• Chemicals and Materials
• Computer hardware and software
• Consumer Electronics
• Internet and web-based technologies
• Mechanical engineering
• Nanotechnology and Lithography
• Semiconductors and MEMS
• Wireless technologies

At Amster, Rothstein & Ebenstein LLP, our lawyers have filed for patents on such diverse subjects as superconductors, semiconductor chips, bioengineered cell lines, surgical probes, off-shore drilling platforms, windmills, computer programs, digital communications equipment, and complex machinery.

Not only do we have an unusually broad range of experience, but we understand how today’s accelerated product lifecycles, and the widespread tendency to resort to litigation more quickly, require that you have seasoned, hard-hitting—and cost-effective—patent counsel to help you navigate the growing global marketplace.

We pride ourselves on our ability to work closely with our clients to craft the optimum patent portfolio, in tight alignment with their business strategy, and proceeding from there to:

• Create and execute comprehensive and strategic patent prosecution strategies—both offensive and defensive
• Draft and negotiate technology licenses
• Counsel on the wide range of business issues that intersect with patent law, including antitrust and allegations of anticompetitive practices
• And finally, launching vigorous and strategically sound licensing and litigation campaigns.

Whatever your firm’s patent licensing, counseling, or prosecution needs, we’re familiar with the challenges you face and have addressed them before, to great effect, with others.
